The track begins on a dirt road with [[Mushroom Trampoline]]s and [[Mushroom Platform]]s in the background. There is a slight turn to the right and another to the left, which brings racers to a wooden bridge that curves right. After that, there are [[Item Box]]es for the player to take and a jump with a single red Mushroom Trampoline, hanging over an abyss.

After exiting the cave, there is a left U-turn around an abyss. Goombas are on this part of the track, which act as obstacles. After passing the Goomba section, the player reaches is the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]].

In Mushroom Gorge, there is a shortcut that allows the player to speed past the regular curving route and get a boost. It can be performed without a mushroom (by jumping over the thinnest part of the grass and turning slightly right after bouncing off the first Mushroom Trampoline). After starting the race, the player should head to the left through an area with no fence and use a mushroom boost (or jump) to drive off the cliff and bounce off the Mushroom Trampolines below, landing on the bridge. This shortcut is utilized in a [[List of Mario Kart Wii glitches#Mushroom Gorge Cave Lap Glitch|glitch]] where racers turn around and bounce off the first Mushroom Trampoline and lean back to climb on the cliff, moving left for a while before being dropped onto the track before the finish line. Because of this, the deliberate shortcut and two Mushroom Trampolines were removed in ''Mario Kart 7''. These Mushroom Trampolines return in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', but if the player attempts this glitch, Lakitu will simply pull them back to where they last were on the track.

Also, by the last U-turn, if the player cuts across the grassy patch with some sort of speed boost and doesn't fall into the crevice, there is a time gain of a second or two. Players can also use a mushroom and jump across the gap itself. It is also possible to bounce off the final Mushroom Trampoline on the left side of the cave and climb on the left wall and get onto the other side of the gap; a Mushroom boost is required. In ''Mario Kart 7'', this can be done with the glider, but is much harder and costs time.

**''There are many Trampoline Mushrooms along the track. The key is to use your Jump Boost on these to get a small mid-air speed boost.''

*'''Nintendo Switch News app (UK)''': '''''Bounce your way to victory - introducing Mushroom Gorge!'''<br>This course first appeared in the Wii title Mario Kart Wii and takes place in mountainous terrain sprouting with all sorts of fabulous fungi. It even features lots of mushrooms that work like trampolines, bouncing you into the air when you drive over them and giving you ample opportunity to utilise Jump Boosts for an extra kick of speed. That's a little tip for you - be sure to use it to your advantage!''
